This is the Shrine of Aviana. Jiang Jie's disciples suffered heavy losses in this battle, with thirteen of them dying. This is a tremendous loss, and everyone is in low spirits.
Moreover, almost everyone was injured and is now healing themselves through internal energy cultivation.
Druid magic will keep these bodies fresh, and then they will be transported back to Lordaeron shortly afterward, where their families and relatives will be able to see them one last time before burying them in a cemetery where their families can often mourn them.
Old Chen, Li Li, Ji, and Aysa, the four Pandaren, are also here. They're the only ones on Mount Hyjal who are close to Jiang Jie; where else would they go if not here?
Jiang Jie quietly arrived at a corner, where a blood crow flew in front of him and transformed back into human form.
"Are you leaving, Astral Mage?" Jiang Jie looked at the old mage who had determined the course of Azeroth, feeling a mix of emotions, including reluctance.
After all, the other person was the first to discover his origins, and had been paying attention to him and helping him all along. It was really... a little hard to part with him.
"My mother passed on the Keeper's power to me because she was tired of it and wanted to live her own life. Although I knew where she was, I never wanted to disturb her. Now that my mission is complete, shouldn't I live the life I want?" Medivh murmured. "In my entire life, only the first fourteen years of my life were truly happy, with my father by my side, and with Llane and Lothar. Now, I am finally free."
Yes, I'm finally free.
Medivh was burdened with the responsibility of protecting the world even before he was born, which was by no means a cause for joy, and he was overwhelmed by the burden.
His birth was the biggest joke in the world.
Now that he has finally fulfilled his duty as Keeper and has given an account to the world, he naturally wants to leave.
"The existence of the Guardian of Tirisfal was a mistake from the start. And now, I have completely destroyed that system. This is a mortal world, and it should be protected by mortals themselves. The Titan Keepers and the Dragon Aspects will slowly relinquish their Keeper authority. Azeroth belongs to mortals." Medivh looked at Jiang Jie and shook his head, saying, "But I've discovered that you seem to have the potential to become Keeper of the World, which is different from what I originally thought."
Jiang Jie was taken aback: Was this also his fault? Was this what I wanted?
Besides, I don't have that kind of ambition. I just want to survive, to live well, and incidentally become stronger so that I don't have to look up to anyone, don't have to compromise, and can control my own destiny. And then... go home, that's all.
"I am no longer the Keeper, and what becomes of you is none of my concern. I will return to ancient legends and myths, and no one will ever find my traces again. That was my original intention. But I saw you, and I changed my mind. The universe is so vast, I want to see it." Medivh said, "I will become a Planeswalker and travel to the brilliant Astral Plane... Nicholas, where do you come from?"
"... The Milky Way. Well, I don't know its exact location. But if you ever see a flattened spherical, disk-shaped galaxy, that's the world I live in." Jiang Jie shook his head and said, "But I doubt you'll find it; the universe is so vast."
Jiang Jie a pang of emotion.
What a carefree and enviable profession it is to be a travel magician!
Jiang Jie hopes that one day he can also leave this planet and go deep into the universe to take a look.
Having cultivated the Black Tortoise Longevity Art, he already possesses a lifespan no less than that of Night Elf. When he one day surpasses the Xiantian, he might even attain immortality. In that endless life, he would naturally dedicate endless time to endless exploration!
This was his wish, a wish hidden deep in his heart, but he didn't know when it would come true.
"I will try. There is endless life in the universe, and even the Titans may not be the sole rulers. My gaze should not be fixed on this planet; my journey is to the stars. I am Astral Mage; I have observed countless star systems, and I possess the most comprehensive star map, which will continue to be improved."
"I will find your world someday. I am immortal, I have plenty of time." Medivh looked at Jiang Jie: "You did well, so I've decided to give you a gift." A gift?
The Astral Mage gave himself a gift?
Jiang Jie was pleasantly surprised, wondering what kind of gift it could be; it must be very precious.
Is it a magical artifact? Or something else?
"Don't look at me expectantly. The gift I gave you is indeed very nice, but I also have a favor to ask of you." Having completed his mission, Medivh's tone became much more relaxed.
He reached out, and a key appeared in his palm. "This is the key to Karazhan. It can open the gates of Karazhan, but it's full of all sorts of dangers. Think it through before you go."
Karazhan Key?
So, I don't need to wait for Outland to open and then go to those three places to collect them, right?
Well, this is a surprise, because Karazhan is so mysterious, spanning countless timelines, hiding endless secrets, and containing many unimaginable treasures.
For example, the divine sword forged by the Dreadlord, which shares the same name as " Frostmourne," or a certain evil scythe that reaps countless souls.
That's a mage tower. Jiang Jie isn't a mage, but Anveena is, and she has the potential to become the best mage. Once her spellcasting abilities are stronger, we'll take her there and make Karazhan our own!
"So, what are your requirements?" Jiang Jie put away the key and then asked.
"I intended to pass the Keeper's power to my son, Med'an, but he shouldn't bear the burden of the Keeper unless he so chooses. Furthermore, my journey to the depths of space requires sufficient power. I will take the Guardian of Tirisfal's power with me; this world no longer needs it," Medivh. " Med'an is somewhere in Duskwood, under the care of Meryl Winterstorm; you should know that."
"I know." Jiang Jie nodded.
The oldest human mage was a good friend of Garona, Med'an 'Medivh mother, Legendary Orcs assassin. However, because her biological mother was still bound by the Shadow Council, she had to leave her child and entrusted him to the care of Meryl Winterstorm.
The Duskwood is too vast; finding him won't be easy.
"Take care of him for me." Medivh sighed. "I have guilt towards this world, but I've repaid it. But the guilt I have towards Med'an can never be repaid. I'll go see him from afar, and then I'll leave."
Just a quick glance from afar?
"Perhaps... you should have your mother, Lady Aegwynn, teach Med'an. She is the best mage in the world, and at least... a person," Jiang Jie suggested.
He genuinely felt that it was highly inappropriate for a Undead to care for a child, especially in a gloomy place like Duskwood. How bleak must the child's life have been? One can only imagine the psychological trauma Med'an must have suffered.
Every child deserves a wonderful childhood.
If you do the math, Med'an should be 16 years old already, a year older than this body. His happy childhood is gone, but at least let him have a wonderful youth, right?
Spending all your time with an Undead, living in the dark, Duskwood, are you trying to prevent him from finding a girlfriend? Does your Nielas Aran family even want to have descendants?
"She... you could try, if she's willing." Medivh shook his head.
Medivh didn't actually have much of an impression of his irresponsible, hot-tempered mother.
The time he spent with his mother was too short; his memories are only of his father and those two playmates...
"Alright, Malfurion is waiting for you. Remember to squeeze as much stuff out of him as possible; the Night Elf have accumulated more over millennia than you can imagine." Medivh transformed into a raven and vanished.
"... You're so carefree." Jiang Jie shook his head slightly.
Regardless of your mother, children, wife, or anything else in this world, is there anyone living a more carefree life than you?
Jiang Jie turned around.
Malfurion has been waiting for a long time; it's time to go see him.
